Chapter 25: Sanssouci Valley
Xu Jin returned to his cave mansion and practiced in retreat for a few days, when suddenly someone came to visit him again.
"Senior Brother Xu, little sister Zhou Yi asks to see you. ”
Zhou Yiwenwen's quiet voice sounded outside the cave.
"Senior Sister Zhou, please come in. ”
Xu Jin withdrew the ban on the entrance of the cave and invited Zhou Yi to enter.
However, with Zhou Yi came, there was also a young woman, also about twenty years old, with a goose egg face and a positive appearance. Xu Jin swept away with his divine thoughts and found that this woman's cultivation seemed to be slightly higher than Zhou Yi's, and she had reached the realm of the second-order Great Perfection of the Soul Condensation Period. Zhou Yi is also a second-order in the Soul Condensation Period, but it seems that he has just stepped into this realm not long ago.
It took more than two years to cultivate to this point, and Zhou Yi's qualifications are indeed not very good.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Yi introduced: "Senior Brother Xu, this is Senior Sister Qiu Niang. I started a little later than me, and I also worshiped under Master Li. ”
Qiu Niang took her body as a courtesy: "Little sister has seen Senior Brother Xu. ”
This autumn lady looks quite bold.
Xu Jin hurriedly returned the salute with his fists and said, "Senior Sister Qiu doesn't have to be polite. ”
"Senior Brother Xu, I heard that you were playing with Senior Brother Xiao Wanqing a few days ago, but Senior Brother Xiao couldn't beat you?"
Zhou Yi asked with a smile, with a bit of curiosity in his tone.
This kind of thing spreads pretty fast. Xu Jin, a new disciple, defeated Xiao Wanqing, who had been an initiator for more than ten years, which was really surprising.
Xu Jin smiled and said: "That's Senior Brother Xiao's mercy, we will stop at the point, and we can't talk about victory or defeat." ”
Zhou Yi chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Xu is really humble and open. ”
In fact, Xiao Wanqing was defeated by Xu Jin, and everyone heard about it. Xu Jin said this, just to save face for Xiao Wanqing, which is a manifestation of old and sophisticated. Zhou Yizi will not talk about this matter much, so as not to offend Xiao Wanqing, but it is not cost-effective.
"Senior Sister Zhou, Senior Sister Qiu, what do you have to teach you when you come to the Humble House today?"
After a few words of greeting, Xu Jin asked about serious things.
Zhou Yi and Qiu Niang glanced at each other, and Qiu Niang said, "Senior Brother Xu, Sanssouci Gufang City will open tomorrow, do you have any intention to go and have a look?"
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Are the two junior sisters intentional?"
Qiu Niang said with a smile: "Senior Sister Zhou and Little Sister have done their best to honor the Master, and the Master has given us some spirit stones. Don't hide it from the senior brother, the little sister's cultivation is shallow, the mana is weak, the place of Xuanyin is extremely dangerous, and the little sister knows that it is difficult to have any hope of survival. If you can find something suitable in the market, it is better than nothing. ”
Xu Jin was surprised and said, "Senior Sister Qiu also wants to participate in the big competition in the Xuanyin Land?"
Qiu Niang smiled bitterly and said, "The little sister is from Black Mountain City, and like Senior Sister Zhou, she will inevitably participate in the big competition. ”
Xu Jin already knew this. Not only does the Nine Shadows Sect have this rule, but other sects also have this rule, and Dabi said, in addition to sending the strongest three descendants, the rest are filled with registered disciples. Knowing that there is no hope of survival, it is a loss to send one more descendant disciple in.
The Nine Shadows Sect must have "purchased" another batch of Yin Souls from Black Mountain City.
Zhou Yiqiu Niang is a new disciple, and she knows about the cultivation realm, and she is no better than Xu Jin. The first time I went to Sanssouci Valley, I naturally felt uneasy, and it was very reasonable to find a stronger companion to go with. Xu Jin actually defeated Xiao Wanqing, who was the one he could rely on, and Zhou Yi had several encounters with him, so he begged to come to the door.
Xu Jin asked, "The other senior sisters under Uncle Li, don't you go to this market?"
According to the same senior sister, she is more trustworthy.
Zhou Yi smiled bitterly, but Qiu Niang was indignant and said, "Senior sisters look down on us named disciples. ”
This is also normal.
Who wants to make friends with the "mortal man"?
Putting aside other interests, if you get too close to Zhou Yiqiu Niang and these registered disciples and have a friendship with each other, it will be uncomfortable to watch them die a few years later. It's better not to associate with them right now, it's most appropriate.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Senior Sister Qiu doesn't have to be angry, the world is hot and cold, and it doesn't start from now. Since the two junior sisters are interested, the foolish brother will go to Sanssouci Valley with the two junior sisters. ”
"That's very good, thank you, brother!"
The two daughters glanced at each other again, and then blessed Xu Jinying.
The next morning, Zhou Yi and Qiu Niang came over early to invite each other, Xu Jin did not delay much, took the storage bracelet with him, and left the Nine Shadows Sect with the second daughter, and went to Sanssouci Valley.
In addition to a few of them, there were other disciples in the sect who also walked together. However, those formal disciples were disdainful of a few of them, and as soon as they left the mountain gate, they immediately performed the art of resisting the wind and flew away.
Xu Jin didn't care, he greeted the second daughter, and a black mist rose under his feet, flying towards the southeast.
The yin wind outside the city is still cold, but now they are all cultivators, their souls are solidified, and flying in the yin wind for a short time is no problem. Zhou Yi and Qiu Niang's mana is low, and the speed of flying against the wind is far from catching up with Xu Jin, Xu Jin can only slow down and walk side by side with them.
Fortunately, the Sanssouci Valley is only more than two hundred miles away, and after flying two pillars of incense in the wind, I crossed a mountain peak and saw a crowded Fang Market in the distance.
All three of them were in good spirits and sped away.
Looking closer, the buildings in Sanssouci Valley Fang City were all very crudely built, far less exquisite than the buildings of the Nine Shadows Sect. It is said that this market is not always open, and it is usually held every two years. There are only a few shops in Pingli that buy and sell here. Most of the shops have returned to the sect.
Sanssouci Valley is not small, with endless buildings and no end in sight. The streets are also full of people coming and going, and it is a prosperous and lively scene. Who would have thought that after half a month, there would be empty buildings here.
Despite being a temporary surname, Fang City doesn't look much different from the one in Yin Feng City. It's just that there is no formation prohibition in the valley to resist the erosion of the yin wind. The people who come here to trade are all cultivators, and they don't care about the yin wind blowing on their bodies.
The three of them lowered the clouds and came out into the street. Zhou Yi and Qiu Niang have not set foot in this kind of market for more than two years, and as soon as they enter the valley, they look around and look happy.
It seems that no matter the yang or the yin world, there is no woman who does not like to visit the market.
Xu Jin was also carefully looking at the situation in Sanssouci Gufang City.
"Senior Brother Xu, how do we act?"
After looking around for a while, Qiu Niang saved the purpose of this trip and raised her head and asked.
Since Xu Jin cultivated above the two of them, the second daughter naturally regarded Xu Jin as the person in charge.
Xu Jin said: "I think, let's go to a larger store, the things there should be more complete." ”
"Okay, just follow my brother's orders. ”
The second daughter had no objection, and followed Xu Jin into a store that seemed to be the largest.
The three of them knew very little about the matter of the cultivation realm, and this was the first time that they had come back to such a market. Xu Jin made up his mind, watch more and talk less, anyway, the opening time of Fang Market has been half a month, and it doesn't matter if it is delayed for a while and a half. You must always find out the rules before you can decide what to do.
The storefront is very large, and on the shelves in the back, there are rows of jade boxes, which naturally hold things like pill talismans, and there are also some jade slips, which should be classics and exercises. This was a slight surprise to Xu Jin. Unexpectedly, in this market, there are still exercises for sale. I thought that the exercises could only be taught by the sect.
On one side of the store, a large sign was erected, which was densely covered with handwriting, and when you looked closely, it turned out to be a "price list". It shows the prices of various things. There is not only the selling price, but also the purchase price.
Genuine Soul Condensing Pill, the price is seventy spirit stones.
This is the purchase price.
Generally, the sect where the monk is located will give out a certain amount of Soul Condensing Pills to his disciples, and usually there will be no monks who come to the Fang Market to buy Soul Condensing Pills, but take some of the Soul Condensing Pills they have accumulated here to sell them into spirit stones, and then buy the things they need.
Xu Jin knew that the genuine Soul Condensing Pill could be sold for a price of a hundred spirit stones in the Fang Market of Yin Wind City and Black Mountain City, and for this alone, the store would be quite profitable.
A few days ago, Yang Tianhong gave Xu Jin a total of 1,000 spirit stones, plus more than a dozen soul condensing pills that Xu Jin had accumulated, if he sold them all, he could also get hundreds of spirit stones.
However, looking at the price list on that brand, Xu Jin couldn't help but gasp.
Six-grade "Fire Spirit Talisman", the price is two hundred spirit stones.
Five-grade "earth escape charm", the price is 300 spirit stones.
And so on, and so on, among them, the second-grade "Wind Spirit Rune" with the highest asking price actually requires 1,500 spirit stones.
Zhou Yi and Qiu Niang also saw these prices, and couldn't help but secretly speak, Qiu Niang said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Xu, what kind of treasure is this wind spirit rune, it is worth fifteen hundred spirit stones?"
Regarding the records of various talismans, Xu Jin had read them in the classics, and he knew a little about this wind spirit rune, and explained at the moment: "There are two kinds of wind spirit runes, the first one can speed up the speed of the wind in a short period of time, it is said that the best super wind spirit runes can speed up the speed of the wind by more than double, and the mana lasts longer, if you encounter an extremely powerful opponent, this kind of wind spirit rune may be able to save people's lives." Another kind of wind spirit rune is to increase the flexibility of the body, and it can also play a great role against the enemy. ”
When Xu Jin was in the yang world, he killed countless people, and he had so much experience in facing the enemy, he knew that if he could speed up his body in an instant, maybe the momentum of victory and defeat would be reversed in an instant. He was able to defeat Xiao Wanqing, and what he relied on was that his body was extremely fast. This is also the result of Xu Jin's hard work. Because of his rich experience in fighting against the enemy, Xu Jin will work hard to practice his body. Spirit runes are divided into seven grades, and second-grade wind spirit runes are already very good grades, and the price is 1,500 spirit stones, which is quite cheap.
Qiu Niang couldn't help but be surprised: "There is such a talisman...... It's a pity that it's too expensive, and the little sister doesn't have such a rich net worth. ”
Zhou Yi also said enviously on the side: "It would be great if I could make my own talismans......"
Xu Jin said with a smile: "The way of talisman making is broad and profound, our cultivation is shallow, where can we learn it for a while?"
Zhou Yi sighed lightly and nodded, looking a little lonely. I want to know that it is for Dabi to worry about a few years later. Her qualifications are not good, her cultivation progress is slow, and she can't do it with skills such as talisman making, pill making, refining weapons, and arranging arrays, and she has entered the land of Xuanyin, which is really dead and alive.
